Professor Cady Will Give
Abernethy Reading Friday
Prof. Frank W. Cady will read
"Rudder Grange” by Frank R. Stockton,
at the first library reading of the new
semester, Friday afternoon at 4 o’clock
in the Abernethy room.
Stockton, popular short-story writer,
is one of ithe outstanding American
humorists who, some critics believe,
rivals Mark Twain. His is the quiet
humor which causes his readers to
chuckle rather than the boisterous sort
which brings loud laughter. Among
his other stories are ‘‘The Casting
Away of Mrs. Leeks and Mrs. Aleshine”
which Professor Cady gave at one of
last year’s Abernethy readings, and
‘•The Lady, or the Tiger”.
This reading, which is the sixth to
be presented this year, is under the
direction of Mrs. Harriet S. Potter,
curator of the Abernethy library. Stu¬
dents and faculty are cordially in¬
vited to attend.

Interfraternity Council
Changes Initiation Rule
The interfraternity council voted to
change the rule governing eligibility
of initiates from the former require¬
ment of a passing grade in at least
twelve semester hours to a standard
conforming to the scholastic require¬
ments of the office of the dean of men.
In its present state of revision, the
rule is expressed as follows: "Any man
not in good scholastic standing in the
dean's office may not be initiated into
any fraternity — that is, if he is on
probation due to scholastic standing.”
Thus all pledged men are barred from
initiation unless they are passing in at
least four courses, three of which must
be above 70 percent.
Reference is made to the dean’s
standards in order that the council
rule may remain automatically corres¬
pondent to the requirements of the
college, in case of any future changes
by the administration.

1934 Kaleidoscope
On Schedule Time
Editors Complete Dummy
While Features and Art
Work Progress Rapidly
Editorial work on the 1934 Kaleido¬
scope is proceeding according to the
schedule which calls for delivery early
in May. Three quarters of the manu¬
script copy will be sent to the printers
by the fifteenth of February. Adver¬
tising and subscriptions are solicited.
Group photographs which were re¬
ceived from the White Studio last week,
have been prepared by the photography
editors and forwarded to -the Canton
Engraving Company for the developing
of halftones. Extra prints of any of
these group pictures may be obtained
for fifty cents from any member of the
6taff.
Material for the opening pages, the
fraternity section, and for most of the
organizations section has been prepared.
A complete dummy, incorporating
several new features, has been pre¬
pared by the editors. The subdivision
page drawings have been completed by
the art editors, Reynold Suss ’34 and
Marian Bugbee ’34 assisted by sopho¬
more tryouts. These drawings carry
out the modernistic treatment used
throughout the book. Mr. Ralph
Hitchcock, artist with the Canton En¬
graving oompany, has completed the
art work for the opening pages of the
book and for the border design.
Dorothy Sands Will
Give Entertainment
Dramatist to Impersonate
Famous Actors Who Have
Played in Familiar Roles
Dorothy Sands, noted impersonator of
dramatic characters, will give a pro¬
gram, “Styles in Acting”, in McCul¬
lough gymnasium Thursday, February
23. This is the fourth event in the
current entertainment course series.
During the evening Miss Sands will
portray characters from famous plays
of each period she describes. The roles
represented will be: Millament in “The
Way of the World”, by William Con¬
greve; Almahide in "The Conquest of
Granada”, by John Dryden; Nellie
Hathaway in “The Silver King”, by
Henry Arthur Jones; Candida in
•’Candida”, by George Bernard Shaw;
and Anna Christie in “Anna Christie”,
by Eugene O’Neill. Here the actress will
impersonate Pauline Lord in her famous
role Lady Macbeth, and the sleep walk¬
ing scene from Shakespeare’s play as it
might be portrayed by Haidee Wright,
Ethel Barrymore, and Mae West, will
conclude the program.
Miss Sands appeared in Middlebury
ten years ago when she played the
leading feminine role in a play given
by a class in drama at Radcliffe college.
She has recently been appearing at
the Booth theatre in New York, offer¬
ing the same program she will present
here.
According to posted advertisements,
the entertainment is to be given in
Mead memorial chapel, but it has been
found necessary to use the gymnasium
instead in order to have adequate stage
facilities.
Season ticket reservations and single
admissions will again be handled at the
Frost pharmacy in Middlebury.
Men’s Glee Club Will Give
Musical Friday Afternoon
A musical will be presented by the
men’s glee club of Middlebury College
in Mead memorial chapel Friday after¬
noon, February 10, at 5 p. m. Prof.
Harry G. Owen will direct the organiza¬
tion.
The entire club will open the pro¬
gram with a group of three songs,
“Weimar Folk Song”, by Liszt; “Banjo
Song", by Homer; and the Negro
spiritual, “I Got Shoes”.
A male quartet, composed of Douglas
F. Reilly '36, first tenor; Reginald K.
House ’33, second tenor; Leon W. Sears
’34, first bass; and Richard W. Cush¬
ing ’35, second bass, will next sing two
Negro spirituals, “Nobody Knows the
Trouble I See” and “The Old Grey
Robe”.
The Texas cowboy song, “Home on
the Range” will be sung by the club,
after which Robert G. McDermott ’35.
pianist for the ensemble, will play Liszt’s
“Lieberstraum”. ®
“Two Grenadiers” by Schumann,
is the closing selection on the program.

Pi Delta Epsilon To
Hold School Contest
Journalistic Fraternity to
Give Prizes for the Best
Scholastic Publications
A contest among the high schools of
the Champlain valley to select the best
scholastic publication will be conducted
by Pi Delta Epsilon, honorary journal¬
istic fraternity, this spring.
According to present plans the
schools will be awarded prizes in the
late spring after all those desiring to
participate have had an opportunity to
submit their publications. Prizes will
consist of a trip to Middlebury for the
editors of the three best entries. In
addition to this a silver cup will be
presented to the school ranking first
place and a bronze placque to the
second prize winner.
A unique point system of judging has
been worked out by the committee in
charge which will allow all classes of
school publications to be entered in
the contest. The four classes which
have been determined upon are news¬
papers, quarterlies, literary magazines,
and year books. Each issue submitted
will be graded as to the excellence of
journalistic effort shown therein. Pub¬
lications will also be graded in regard
to the size of the budget, the uniform
excellence of several issues, and the
extent of faculty supervision.
The committee in charge of this event
consists of Anthony G. L. Brackett '33,
chairman; Harthon L. Bill ’33, William
S. Weier ’33, Robert L. Cushing ’34,
and Charles N. DuBois '34. All of these
men are members of Pi Delta Epsilon.
Amy L. Niles ’33, editor of the Saxon-
ian, will also serve on -the committee.
Wig and Pen Formal
At Inn February 25
Exclusive Dance to Feature
Bill Dehey’s Orchestra and
Special Lighting Effects
A formal dance will be given at the
Inn February 25 by Wig and Pen,
honorary dramatic society. Music will
be by Bill Dehey and his orchestra and
■there will be special lighting effects
and decorative features.
No tickets will be sold for this dance.
It will be completely exclusive in its
nature. The number of those present
will be strictly limited to forty couples.
All members of Wig and Pen are eligible
to attend and approximately twenty
other students who are actively inter¬
ested in dramatics and who have done
work in dramatic productions will also
be invited. In order for anyone to be
eligible his name must have appeared
on at lea3t one program of a presenta¬
tion at the playhouse.
Bill Dehey’s orchestra of eleven men
is one of the most popular orchestras
in the east in collegiate circles. The
band has played at Williams, Yale,
Skidmore ,and.Smith as well as the
DeWitt Clinton hotel in Albany, several
prominent clubs in the east and has
done much broadcasting work.
This dance will be quite different in
i:s nature from the usual type of formal.
A particular theme will be carried out
in the decorations, programs, and light¬
ing effects. The dramatic department
is cooperating with the dance commit¬
tee by designing decorations and set¬
tings.
The committee in charge of the ar¬
rangements consists of Anthony G. L.
Brackett '33, chairman, James C. Judge
'33, Ruth H. McMenemy '33, Emory T.
Hutchins '34, and Frances E. Sargent
34. Invitations will be issued this week.
Wagner Celebration to Be
Sponsored by German Club
A special program commemorating
the fiftieth anniversary of the death of
Richard Wagner will be sponsored by
the college German club in Mead
memorial chapel Wednesday evening,
February 15.
Dr. Werner Neuse, head of the Ger¬
man department will speak on Wagner
from a literary standpoint, treating His
position in the great literature of the
world. Mr. Lansing Hammond, leader of
the Wagner Verein, is to present the
musical side of the man’s life. He will
use recordings of the composer’s opera¬
tic and symphonic works, some of which
have featured the weekly meetings of
his group.
Several Wagner numbers will be sung
by Miss Prudence H. Fish, and Mr. Fritz
Tiller will play violin selections from
the works of the composer. These
compositions will be similar to those
studied in the Wagner Verein.
The club extends cordial invitation to
members of the faculty and student
body to attend the celebration.
The final vote on the question of
abolition to have been taken Monday
evening, February 6, by the sorority
women on this campus, has been de¬
ferred ait the recommendation of the
administration of Middlebury College.
This recommendation was made to the
Pan-Hellenic council February 3 by
Dean Ross, in behalf of the adminis¬
tration.
Shortly after the announcement in
the last issue of the CAMPUS that
'the final ballot would be held February
6, a petition drawn up by a group of
fraternity women and bearing the
signatures of eighty-eight sorority
members, was presented to the Pan-
Hellenic council. This petition suggest¬
ed that the vote be taken numerically
rather than by sororities, and that
the feeling of the alumnae be in no way
considered.
At a meeting of the council held
January 29, it was decided that no
action could be taken by It on the
petition, since such action would
be Illegal according to the local
Pan-Hellenic constitution and ac¬
cording to national Pan-Hellenic re¬
quirements. For this reason the peti¬
tion was returned to its originators.
Definite regulations in regard to the
final vote were drawn up by the council
at the same meeting, and these were
recommended to the sorority chapters
the following day, January 30. The

Mountain Club Plans
Hikes For Semester
Two Trips to Camp Naidni
On Lake Dunmore Sche¬
duled Sunday and Monday
The mountain club has completed
plans for a series of hikes to be taken
during the second semester. Prelimi¬
nary arrangements were made by the
executive committee at meetings held
during the past week.
Next Sunday and Monday, Camp
Naidni on Lake Dunmore will be the
destination. Each day the hikers will
leave Battell cottage at 10 a. m. There
will be skating and hockey on the sur¬
face of the lake, and a trip will be made
to the Cascades, a falls on the opposite
side.
Those planning to make the trips
should sign at the editor’s office by
Friday. Each person is to bring a
lunch and fifty cents. A hot supper
will be provided.
During the remainder of the month
of February, snowshoe trips will be
taken whenever there is a sufficient
amount of snow.
A long trip to Lincoln mountain will
be undertaken either March 5 or 12.
There will also be a shorter hike to
the first range of the Green moun¬
tains the same day.
The first Sunday after spring vaca¬
tion, the annual ”sugaring-off” party
will be held. The group will visit a
sugar camp, and assist in the process of
boiling down the sap.

THE MAJORITY.
"Log of the Sea” by Felix RLsen-
berg. New York: Harcourt, Brace
& Co. $3.
This is a book of sea stories which are
different. We do not find here a tale
of breathless adventure and action, nor
is it a volume of separate yarns loosely
tied together by a slender thread of
plot. Captain Risenberg sets down his
own adventures and his own thoughts.
He writes as though he were having a
quiet chat with one rather than as a
lecturer relating his adventures from
the platform.
Of course there are plenty of thrill¬
ing stories in the 352 pages of the
book, and plenty of the sharp tang of
salty air and biting spray. However we
liked hLs comments on the men he has
met in his long life of sea faring and
his poet like appreciation of the beauties
of the sea. Nobody can read this book
and think of the typical sea captain
as a two fisted monster whose chief
interest is breaking skulls. There is
call of the ocean in this book which
is more than a breathless chase for
adventure.
Captain Risenberg got his first taste
of the sea during the 90's in the old
training ship St. Mary's, built in 1844.
After completing his “course” of train¬
ing he shipped aboard a vessel bound
for the west coast 'and thus obtained his
first real experience by the stormy
rounding of the Horn. Since then he
has sailed the seven seas carrying all
kinds of cargos and commanding all
sorts of ships. He knows his business
and can write interestingly and in¬
formally, although never coarsely, of
announcements of The C^htury Com¬
pany for spring publication. The
twenty-third of this month will appear
“Science in the Changing World",
priced at $2.
Listed as authors of this book are
some of the best known scientists,
sociologists, and philosophers of the
present day. The roster includes Dr.
John Baker, Hilaire felloe, Hugh
L’Anson Fausset, J. B. S, Haldane, Sir
Thomas Holland, Julian ftuxley, prof.
H. Levy, and Bertrand Russell. We
wonder if any collaborating was done
or whether each man forked inde¬
pendently. At any rate the work should
be “of Importance to the social, eco¬
nomic, and spiritual welfare of man¬
kind”, as the advertisement reads.

The ultimate question of the abolition of sororities from this cam¬
pus is for the time being overshadowed by the question of the method
of voting which should be employed to determine the results.
A petition is now before the administration of Middlebury Col¬
lege asking that the vote be taken numerically, rather than by sorori¬
ties, in order that this final ballot may represent the opinion of the in¬
dividual fraternity women instead of that of the aggregate groups.
In this way there would be no danger of the two votes granted each j the"beautyTnd adventure of the ocean,
chapter under the Panhellenic system of balloting, being cast in such j "Log of the Sea” is well worth reading,
a way that perhaps one vote in a sorority might decide the stand of
the entire group.
By a numerical vote the wish of the majority of all the sorority
members would be made known. We feel that in such a vital question
•as this the feeling of the majority of the members of the sororities in
the women’s college should count more than anything else. It is also
felt that such a method of voting is in reality fairer to both sides,
and would leave no opening for complaint after the final vote had
been tabulated. — Miriam Barber.
We are very much interested in the
Another announcement of interest is
that of "World Dance of the Machines”
by Leo Hausleiter, translated from the
German. This book was entitled
"Revolution in World Industry” when
published in Europe. The author, ac¬
cording to the announcement, "is a
German engineer, economist, and poli¬

rather startling reading add with little
.to offer of a constructive nature. We
were interested, however, in the fact
that "his historical sketches of im¬

will cost $3. g.l.

the front page of this issue, ith'at the

branch, Hortense) due to some con¬

tention is again called to the system of ranking in force here at Mid¬
dlebury. The extent of the evils indicates that some change should
be made in the present method of grading, although many of the
difficulties are of such a varied nature that it is hard to prescribe any
one means of improvement.
In theory there is a marking system at Middlebury with 100
points. Except in very unusual cases, however, the practice is to use a j effect was grand about dawn Sunday

It is also true that in many courses grades are indicated with only
three or four criterion for the mark. In many courses but two or
three hour examinations are given and the results of these few tests are
the chief means of determining the student’s grade. In as fine a
system of marking as Middlebury’s there certainly should be more
opportunity to determine the grade of the student.
We also feel that the method of choosing the dean’s list is not fair.
Selection for this list should be on a strictly mathematical basis, and if
a student stands high enough in most of his courses to compensate for
a low grade in others he should be given dean’s list privileges. In |
other words, we do not believe that a student with an average of above
eighty-five should be kept from the dean’s list because of one or more
grades below eighty.
Then the effect of the "pipe” course is unduly intensified because
•of the present grading methods. We would rearrange the course marks
in proportion to the median of the course and an arbitrary median
lor the entire college. We would have each professor grade according
to his usual method and upon the grades being handed in at the regis¬
trar’s office the median point of each course would be altered in pro¬
portion to the figure set up as the college average. Nearly every
professor places over seventy per-cent of his students within a range of
twenty points and fifty per-cent within a range of ten points. By
proportioning the course grades with the college average a uniform
standard would be attained.
A decided change in the marking system should be made, but
while it is being worked out the suggestions we have set forth could
be applied to our present method. We feel ttyat some improvement
would be noted although more radical changes would be necessary be¬
fore conditions would be entirely satisfactory.
next month’s allowance.
Usually we avoid superlatives; even
comparatives are odious (unquote),
but the 1936 edition of the Frolic left
nothing to be desired, when we concede
that Guy and ithe Roosevelt grill are
out of the question. Orchids to the first
class to run a semi-formal dance that
turned out to be semi-formal!
Between halves at the melee, some¬
body wondered what could be more ap¬
propriate for a jungle band than red
monkey jackets? And of course some¬
body in the next chair had to suggest
green . . . frosh . . . green - - check?
In spite of all previous season scores,
both pucksters and basketeers turned
in most satisfactory results last Satur¬
day. Another corsage of orchids to that
gamey, sporting bunch of Colgate
skaters, who complained at nothing
more than the confusion of opposing
the twins playing defense for Mid¬
dlebury. Of course you heard the crack
about the referee, slightly muddled, who
dropped the whistle and blew the puck?
Though we have alluded to the
hockey rink before, we apparently spoke
too soon. Any institution which pro¬
vides as much hilarious fun for as
many village guests in as many nights
must be just about perfeot.
Can we advance the item for its
bare news value that the assessment for
three dollar class dances will hereafter
be reduced to the courteous sum of fifty-
one cents? Or should We recommend
a course at the mint Jh Washington
as prerequisite for all formal dance
ticket-takers in the future? We're
speechless.
How times change! Row fleeting is
human friendship! It seems but yes¬
terday that the last dog fawned on the
| leg of a chapel speaker and was re¬
warded with a gentle hut and a witty
comment. But now ithe strong arm of
the law reaches out and limits the
benefits of daily chapel to mere stu¬
dents, with a stern ultimatum to dog-
lovers and fraternity houses (nice dis¬
tinction?) that canines ate to be guard¬
ed as a private possession. Middlebury
tuition should take a 'tremendous drop
next fall, counting five dollars for every
one of the roaming beasts on campus.
Carrying the thing through to the
logical conclusion, we exhect that ditty,
“Nuts About Mutts” to be banned from
the radio, effective Monday night.
Not that the Inn isn’t the best place
in the world for a jolly- good time to
be had by all, but it 'does seem that
amorous coeds might try to keep their
affections under control — at least to
the extent of openly hissing! With a
single tsk we frown on that, decidedly!
And who was that £lrl that wanted
ito know why someone didn’t mend the
holes in the stockings of the hockey
team? We might suggest that very few
of our stalwart ice-men are potent with
a needle and thread. In all fairness it
muslt be said that the young woman

woman won’t do for a Uniform! l.j.m.

To the Editor of the CAMPUS:
The sorority question perplexes the
women of Middlebury College a great
deal in these days. A decision is about
to be made which will provoke a vari¬
ous response. However the vote turns
there must inevitably be some women
who approve, some women who are dis¬
mayed. We listen to each other’s views
hoping to see the problem clearly.
Through the CAMPUS we have heard
the voice of a sorority woman who still
maintains that sororities are worth
keeping. Another sorority woman has
spoken who questions their value. I
write this communication to voice the
stand point of a non-sorority woman.
If by chance sororities are abolished
in the final vote - - do not expect to
find yourself outside a sister-hood. You
will be incorporated into a vaster, more
realistic sorority - - one of greater in¬
dependence and more sincere fellow¬
ship.
Some of you may fear that without
your sorority you will have lost a prop.
You argue that there must be some
smaller units of loyalty. Of course
there must be - - and of course there
will be - - but these new units will be
less exclusive, less prohibitive, and less
binding than the old. They will not be
as static as sororities tend to be.
You will lose no opportunity for
service. You will, I believe, find more,
for you will come in closer contact with
those who need your understanding
and sympathy far more than do your
sisters who so nearly resemble you.
As for ideals - - it is ridiculous to
suppose that they are not fostered out¬
side of the arbitrary units marked by
this or that combination of Greek
letters. The intangiblity of idealism
is every day being made concrete in
this broader sisterhood now by some
unobtrusive service, now by an act of
loyalty which looks for no reward, and
by the constant give and take of en¬
couragement, advice and friendliness.
Idealism fortunately need not be the
product of sororities.
Finally and above all else the price
that is paid to maintain these smaller
units is tremendous. There is the finan¬
cial expense of course, which helped to
focus our attention on this situation.
But infinitely more Important Is the
emotional expense Involved In rushing
and in the adjustment that must be
made by those who are given no bids.
This emotional expense falls upon u s
all in one way or another. The benefit
received needs to be very great to Justify

“What Is Truth?” Is
Theme Of Vespers
Professor Frank W. Cady
Shows Idealist’s View
Comes Closer to Christ
Prof. Prank W. Cady of the depart¬
ment of English at Middlebury took
“What is Truth?” as the subject of
his address at Sunday vespers, taking
as his text Pilate’s inquiry of Jesus,
found in John xviii:38.
“It is a question which never has been
and never will be fully answered,” said
Professor Cady. “The words of Christ
‘I am come to show truth unto the
world’ are the nearest to which any
Answer has come.”
There are many sorts and varieties of
truth but they may be divided very
generally into two classes, the speaker
said: the truth of the materialist, and
the truth of the idealist. The material¬
ist believes that truth may be found
in what can be perceived through the
senses. His truth is knowledge and
is undoubtedly the basis fox' much
human progress in science. However,
it was pointed out that this truth is
narrow, limited to the boundaries of
this world. It does not recognize that
shadowy realm of the spirit and leaves
no room for faith.
The Idealist seeks truth through
spiritual intuitions. The idealistic atti¬
tude inevitably is the religious attitude,
Professor Cady said. Religion founds
itself on these things alone. Hence
it is easier for the idealist to come to
Christ.
Professor Cady cited the example of
Thomas, the disciple who doubted and
had to be shown. He quoted the words
of Christ: “Because thou hasi; seen me,
thou hast believed. Blessed are those
who have not seen,yet believe.”
He also gave as an illustration the
play, “The Hourglass”, by William
Butler Yeats which depicts the triumph
of a spiritual idealist and the truth
of God over the knowledge of the
materialist, through the teaching of a
half-witted fool.
“We do not see the truth, God sees it
in us,” the speaker said in conclusion.
“Search as we may we cannot find it
unless we realize that in Christ lies the
true pattern of manhood.”

That’s why we look for and buy the

That’s why we age them in our ware¬

Professor Freeman Talks
At English Club Meeting
Professor Stephen A. Freeman ad¬
dressed the English club alt the home
of President Paul D. Moody, Wednesday
evening, February 1.
He spoke on Marcel Proust, modern
French author, and his influence upon
modern thought. Proust introduced
Bergsen’s philosophy into modern
literature, through fiction. This philo¬
sophy holds that man gains insight into
reality not by intellect but by intuition
by which he can reproduce the early
events of his life. The true significance
of Proust lies in this element of time
and manner of recollection. The com¬
plete series of his novels are entitled.
‘‘In Search of Lost Time”, illustrating
his emphasis of the force of intuition.
Forty students and faculty members
attended. Refreshments were served.

ILLUSION:
The stage is all set for target practice. The magician
lifts his bow and aims an arrow at the bull's-eye. Ills
lovely assistant then steps in front of the target and
he shoots the arrow—apparently through her—and it
fixes itself in the very center of the bull’s-eye! And
she smiles through it all while the audience gasps.
EXPLANATION:
The arrow which the marksman “shoots through" his
assistant simply folds up into the crossbow! The
arrow which is actually embedded in the target is shot
by the girl herself from a belt concealed under her
dress. She releases a little spring, the arrow unfolds,
and shoots straight into the bull’s-eye! It is all done in
a flash! So quickly the eye cannot detect the girls
movements! To heighten the impression that the ar¬
row has gone right through, the girl releases a ribbon
from the front of her dress—the continuation, appar¬
ently, of the ribbon attached to the arrow in the target.
It’s fun to be fooled —
...it’s more fun to KNOW
Like to see through tricks? Then let’s
look at another... the illusion in ciga¬
rette advertising called “Cigarettes
and Your Throat.”
The audience is told that by certain
magic processes tobacco can be made
as soothing as cough medicine.
explanation: The easiest cigarette
on your throat is the cigarette that is
made from the choicest ripe tobaccos.
Cheap, raw tobaccos are, as you would
naturally expect, harsh in their effects
upon the throat.
If you have to consider your throat,
the quality of the tobacco in your
cigarette is important.
It is a fact, well known by
leaf tobacco experts, that
Camels are made from finer,
MORE EXPENSIVE tobaccos than
any other popular brand.
Camels are as non-irritating as a ciga¬
rette can be because Camels use choice,
ripe, tobaccos.
And because of the matchless blend¬
ing of these costlier tobaccos Camels
have a rich bouquet and aroma... a
cool, delicious flavor.
Keep the air-tight, welded
Humidor Pack on your Camels
to assure yourself and your
companions a fresh, cool smoke.

Middlebury Ice Men Down Colgate
4-3, But Bow To Mass. State 3-2
CourtTeamTo Meet Panther Quintet Outclasses Norwich
St. Michael’s Tonight 47-29 In First State Series Game
The Middlebury hockey team won one
game and lost one on Its home rink
last week. Tuesday, January 31, Mass.
State defeated the Panthers, 3-2, and
Saturday Middlebury was victorious
over Colgate, 4-3.
For a large part of the game Middle¬
bury kept the puck in the opponent’s
territory but was unable to tally. The
Blue and White attack was composed
for the most? pant, of flipping the puck
from in back of the blue line down to
the Mass. State cage, then following
up and trying to sink ithe rebound.
The Bay Staters played a defensive
game until they had a good opportunity
to break away and it was only in the
third period that they were able to
snap the 2-2 tie. Cain got the puck
in a mixup before the Panther net and
sank his shot for what proved to be the
margin of victory.
Throughout the game the Middmen
made persistent efforts to break through
the opponents’ defense.. Part of the
time there were five men down the
ice, and in the last few minutes of
the Anal period, Hickcox was taken out
of the goal and another wing was put
in his place to increase the strength of
the aittack. This was to no avail and
when the final whistle blew, Middle¬
bury was on the short end of the score.
The home team showed a strong at¬
tack and the defense was the best that
it has been this year. Scotty Mac-
Lean played ian excellent brand of
hockey at defense and at times the
forward lines showed enough drive to
have won an ordinary game. They were
slowed up by the poor condition of the
ice, which made speed and teamwork
almost impossible.
The freshmen candidates had their
first opportunity in varsity competition
and played a fine game. They fitted
in well and promise to strengthen the
team.

Work Out For Meet
Team to Enter New Eng¬
land Intercollegiate Con¬
test Held at Boston Garden
Middlebury’s state champion track
team is working out dally, undaunted
by winter weather, in preparation for its
participation in the annual New Eng¬
land Intercollegiate meet at the Boston
Garden, February 18. Coach Brown has
not yet decided on the definite person¬
nel of the Middlebury delegation, but he
expects to send down a larger group
than has represented the Blue and
White in recent years.
It is almost certain that the Pan¬
ther trackmen will have a one-mile
relay quartet entered. Coach Brown
has been working particularly hard on
quarter-milers, and hopes to put to¬
gether a fast foursome. In time trials
and 'handicap practices he has been get¬
ting an idea as to the merits of the
double-furlong runners, and so far it
appears as though ithe team will be
chosen from Boehm, Deemer, Hunter,
Montgomery, Prochazka, and Roberts.
Last Wednesday Montgomery, Prochaz¬
ka, Hunter, and Boehm ran together
and overcame handicaps of 25 and 40
yards given to two other teams.
The versatile Brown, who can usually
be depended upon for points in any
competition, will probably be unable
of the season for the Middlebury team
and the play was of a high quality
throughout.
The Middmen started early and be¬
fore the game was more than two min¬
utes under way, Dwyer neatly sank the
puck in the Maroon cage on hLs own
rebound. From the time of the first
whistle 'the Blue and White attack got
going and forced the issue during the
whole game. Every man on the team
played a hard game, and more co¬
ordination was displayed than in any
previous contest. The offense clicked
smoothly, driving down upon the Col¬
gate cage time after time, giving the
goalie a severe testing. The defense
worked as well as the offense and the
New York team had difficulty in get¬
ting near enough to the Middlebury
goal to try a close-up shot.
The Panthers scored a second tune in
the first period when Clark picked up a
rebound and flipped It into the net.
This gave Middlebury a 2-0 lead. Later
on in the same period, Colgate garner¬
ed a point when Wheeler scored un¬
assisted.
In the second period of the game, the
Maroon scored twice. The first was
made after about six minutes and the
second three and a half minutes later.
Wheeler was also instrumental in both
of these, scoring one himself and mak¬
ing an assist for the other.
When the final period came around,
the Blue and White came through to tie
the score on a goal by D. MacLean with
a shot that carried from beyond the
blue line. After about ten minutes of
fast hockey by both teams, the dead¬
lock was broken by Clark when he
poked in the puck from the mouth of
the cage for the margin of victory.
From that time until the end of the
game, Colgate tried with all their power
to get at the Middlebury goal but
they were unsuccessful in penetrating
the defense. The Panthers nearly
scored again after that but very quick
work on the part of the Maroon goalie
stopped further point getting.

Game Will Be Important in
Deciding Title of Annual
State Basketball Series
Having taken Norwich into camp so
easily in then- recent game, the Middle¬
bury hoopmen are highly confident of
adding St. Michael's to their list of
victims when the two teams meet here
Wednesday night. With this contest
out of their way, they are hopeful of
repelling the invading Lowell Tech
quintet Saturday.
The encounter with the Mikemen is
of considerable importance to both
outfits, as a victory for the Beckmen
will leave them the only undefeated
team in the conference, while a reverse
for the visitors would seriously affect
their chances for a state championship.
Thus both will bend every effort to
come out on top.
In their last two starts, St. Michael’s
has lost to Clarkson, and St. Lawrence,
but these two 'teams are recognized as
being especially strong this season,
ranking with the best.
Ruggiero, Janis, and Bozek will in all
probability see service at the forward
berths for the Carrmen, with the high
scoring Miles jumping center. Tierney
and Meade will make up the defence.
To date the opposition has found Miles
the most difficult to keep under con¬
trol, but Ruggiero has also shared the
spotlight with the sturdy pivot man.
The Lowell Textile squad that comes
here Saturday, is capable of extending
the Beckmen to the limit. Curiously
enough they are coached by "Rusty”
Yarnell, an old U. V. M. luminary,
which in itself will cause the visitors
to press hard for victory. His quintet
was barely nosed out by the unbeaten
M. I. T. team, and at one stage of the
game were leading 23-13. Likewise they
forced Tufts to the utmost, but again
lost by a narrow margin.
The rejuvenated outfit presented by
Coach Beck against Norwich was a
pleasant surprise, and not only played
a much better game than previously,
but showed a winning spirit. They
acted at ail times as though they were
confident of the outcome, and while
Norwich lacked the class to make
things interesting, the Middmen looked
like a much improved team. The
St. Michael’s conflict should be worth
watching, and chances are bright that
the Blue and White will annex their
second state series victory.
Panther Ice Team
Makes Second Trip
Princeton and Mass. State
to sprint at the meet, because of a foot j
injury, but he may be fit to put the
shot. The burly captain specializes j
in the broad jump and the sprint
races, but his handling of the iron ball
may be good enough to earn him a
place.
Sears, star two-miler, and D. Short, j
mile specialist, will compete in distance ;
runs, and both are turning in good j
practice performances. Both of these
men should score in the meet.
Roberts will be entered in the hurdles,
while Prochazka will run the 50 yard :
dash. There is u possibility that a
number of others will compete, but their
choice is still undecided.
With winter track in full swing, at¬
tention is already being given to the
impending outdoor season. The sche- j
dule is almost complete, according to j
manager Newman, and will include the
following meets: April 29, Williams, at
Williamstown; May 2, Montreal A. A.,
at Middlebury; May 13, E. I. A. A.
Championships at Worcester; May 20,
Union, at Schenectady; and May 27,
Green Mountain Conference Cham¬
pionships, at Northfield. Manager
Newman is still working on another
meet, to precede the Williams encount¬
er, but has not yet signed one up. A
previously scheduled meeting with Al¬
fred has been cancelled.
Since first year men are not eligible
to participate in this first contest at
Boston, Coach Brown has not called
upon freshmen. They will be available
for later meet, however, with the ex¬
ception of the eastern intercollegiates.
To Be Encountered This
Thursday and Saturday
The Middlebury hockey sextet left
late yesterday on a three game trip,
which in addition to the Williams en¬
counter last night, will bring them up
against Princeton, and Mass. State.
Thursday they oppose the fast
Princeton ice team and the odds appear
■too great to overcome. The Tigers!
have an unusually strong combination,
and the brilliant Toronto aggregation ,
was forced to an overtime period to ;
defeat them. Kammer, Lane, Whit¬
man. and Tiers form a group of classy :
wings, but it is doubtful if they will
see much service against the Midd¬
men.
Saturday Coach Nelson’s men will
attempt to avenge the defeat suffered
at the hands of Mass. State earlier |
in the season. At that time the Elue i
and White was unable to use freshmen, j
but with the acquisition of several first I
year men they should be in a position
to make a strong bid for victory. Since
the first encounter the home team has
come along fast, as the four goals
against Colgate testify.
Middlebury will probably start the
same lineup that opened against Col¬
gate, with Hickoox in the net, and the
MacLean brothers doing the bumping
at the defence posts; Melbye or Clark
at center ice; and Yeomans and Dwyer
at the wings.
The team has been hampered in prac¬
tise thus far by insufficient ice.
Williams Hockey Postponed
Rain cancelled the Middlebury-
Williams hockey match scheduled
for last night at Williamstown, ac¬
cording to a wire received by the
CAMPUS early this morning. The
team is proceeding today to Prince¬
ton, where they will play tomorrow.
INTRAMURAL HOCKEY
DKE 11 - SPE 1
The first intramural hockey game of
the season was played on the college
rink Saturday, DKE defeating SPE
11 - 1 .
From the first whistle to the last
the Dekes proved to be the better of
the teams, scoring six times in the
first half while holding SPE scoreless.
In the second half the under-dog suc¬
ceeded in putting one score by Robbins.
Dawes and Forbush were outstanding
for DKE while Blaisdell scored the lone
goal for SPE.
ASP 4 - BK 3
Spectators witnessed a very thrilling
hockey game on the college rink last
Saturday afternoon when ASP van¬
quished the scrappy BK team in an over
time period, 4-3.
The teams were very evenly matched,
BK showing a somewhat better brand
of hockey in the first period, leading
at half time 2-0. However, in the sec¬
ond period ASP tied <the score which
called for an overtime period. After
five minutes rest, play was resumed and
ASP succeeded in breaking through the
BK defense to score the winning point.
Lombardi starred for BK with Steven¬
son and Pratt going best for ASP.
CP 9 - BP 0
CP easily defeated BP on the college
rink Monday evening by a score of
9-0.
The game was a walk away for the
CP sextet, at no time were the winners
hard pressed. With Easier leading the
attack, they swept into an early lead
and completely checked the BP ad¬
vances.
DU 3 - DKE 1
Last night the college rink was the
scene of a very spectacular hockey
battle in which DU defeated DKE 3-1.
In the early part of the first period
DKE scored the first goal, and just
before the gun Delta Upsilon tied the i
score. With only a few minutes to |
play in the second period DU again '
battled its way through the opposing
defense and _ caged another shot.
The last period was a thriller, the
Dekes staging a good fight to again tie
the count. They nearly did so on one
shot but the referee made the decision
that the puck did not pass the line
at the front of the cage. In the last
few minutes of play DU got away with a
fast passing combination to drive an- |
other past Robbins clinching the game i
3-1.
Flagg and Brooks starred in the DU
forward line while Collins and Williams
were towers of strength in the defensive
zone. Morhouse and Brown were the
center of interest for DKE.
KDR 5 - Neutrals 1
In a scrappy hockey game last night
on the college rink KDR easily defeated
Neutrals 5-1.
In spite of increasing rain KDR pre¬
sented a very snappy passing combina¬
tion that succeeded in scoring two
goals in the first period, holding their
opponents scoreless. During the last
moments of the second period the neu¬

| Middlebury won its opening state
series contest last Saturday night when
it defeated Norwich by a decisive score
of 47-29. Playing on the home court
the Panthers completely outclassed
their opponents, jumping off to a lead
which was never relinquished.
The Blue and White started the game
with three freshmen in the line-up
and assumed 'the offensive from the
start. Clonan was the first to score,
tapping the ball in from underneath
the basket on a follow up shot. Cor¬
liss then dropped in a shot from the
left side of the court, but Leddy broke
the ice for Norwich by sinking a
basket from the foul line. Mid¬
dlebury ran up a lead of 19-12 at half
time and had command of the ball
during most of the first half. It was
not a very interesting game from the
standpoint of the spectator, being too
slow and unspectacular.
The second period saw the Horsemen
attempt to cut down the Panther lead
by opening up with a faster attack.
Paced by Leddy they managed to draw
up to a 22-18 count, but here the Blue
and White started to sink shots from
all angles and widened the gap to
30-20.
Middlebury played its best defen¬
sive game of the year against the
Cadets, and for the first time this year
an opponent was held under thirty
points. The guarding of Corliss, Mac-
Kenzle and Lyon was excellent. Many
times one or the other would take the
ball off the backboard and start down
the court before the Horsemen had
a chance to get set. The offensive was
likewise at its best, the quintet roll¬
ing up its highest score this season.
Corliss and Clonan led in the attack,
the former garnering thirteen points
while the latter was responsible for
twelve.
For Norwich, Leddy was the main
cog and individual high scorer of the
game. He sank seven baskets and one
foul shot in amassing his fifteen points,

MIDDLEBURY CAMPUS, MIDDLEBURY, VT., FEBRUARY 8, 1933
SORORITY ABOLITION
VOTE IS POSTPONED
(Continued from page 1)
regulations, which were accepted by all
the sororities, were as follows: "The
question to be voted on now reads: With
the understanding that this action on
the part of the administration would
be final, the sorority women of Middle-
bury College and of the Women’s
College at Middlebury request that
sororities be abolished. The vote with¬
in each chapter shall be decided by
the chapter Itself in accordance with
its requirements. This vote shall be a
closed vote. Following the chapter
meetings, there will be a Pan-Hellenic
meeting at eight-thirty in the Sigma
Kappa rooms, In the council vote,
there must be at least thirteen votes to
carry.”
When this recommendation was made
to the sororities, the matter was still in
the hands of the Pan-Hellenic council.
However, since that time, a second peti¬
tion drawn up by the same group as
the first and likewise concerning the
method of voting, has been presented
to the administration. This petition,
signed by ninety-six sorority women,
was presented to the administration
Monday, February 6. Until the admin¬
istration shall have decided whether or
not the vote is to be taken numerically,
no further steps can be taken by the
Pan-Hellenic council.
In the event that the administration
decides in favor of a numerical vote,
the remaining procedure will rest with
them. If voting by sororities is deemed
the best method of procedure, the
matter will revert to the Pan-Hellenic
council, and the vote will be taken ac¬
cording to the regulations quoted above.
The statement made by the adminis¬
tration to the Pan-Hellenic council
February 3 reads as follows: "As you
know it has been the policy of the
administration of Middlebury College
to take as impartial a position as possi¬
ble in the matter of sororities on the
women’s campus. Officially we wish
.the majority .to have their way.
Whether sororities are retained or
abolished our interest is this: That the
agency for ascertaining the wishes of
■the group should be conducted with
fairness and impartiality. At this time
it seems necessary for the administra¬
tion to advise concerning this agency.
The president and secretary of Pan-
Hellenic have asked for advice and we
have been informed that a petition is
soon to be presented to the administra¬
tion concerning the method of voting.
“In view of these facts it is recom¬
mended by the administration that no
vote be taken on February 6, 1933.
Until (this petition with the signatures
has reached the administration of the
College, in fairness to all concerned
and for the sake of continuing the good
feeling which has existed up to this
■time, we of the administration believe
(that both methods, voting numerically
or voting by sororities, should be care¬
fully considered with the advantages
and disadvantages of each clearly un¬
derstood before the vote is taken.”

such extravagance.
Remember that there is and always
has been a glorious natural sisterhood,
full of opportunity for service and
idealism. It is in such a sisterhood
that all of us will find ourselves after
commencement. The women of Mid¬
dlebury College might do well, I believe
to abolish sororities now. With sorori¬
ties that initiation is only being post¬
poned.

Professors Davison and
Rusby to Discuss Tariff
Prof. John P. Davison and Prof. Paul
Rusby will give an informal discussion
on the internaitional tariff question,
Friday evening, February 10, in Old
Chapel, under the auspices of the liberal
club.
It is expected that Professor Davison
will uphold the idea of the tariff and
advocate protection for domestic .trade,
while Professor Rusby will uphold the
economist’s argument for a world divi¬
sion of commerce, with each country
producing only the articles which it can
produce most cheaply.
This will be the first of a series of
meetings open to the students of the
college, on present world problems, and
sponsored by the liberal club. Edward
Yerovitz '33 will preside at this meet¬
ing.
To the Editor of the CAMPUS:
One sentence in Miss Barber's edi¬
torial in the January 24th issue of the
CAMPUS is outstanding, “We must
look ahead and plan for those who
come after us.” It is a noble senti¬
ment and expressed in no uncertain
terms. Yes, we must look ahead and
plan for those who come after us! But
those who gain “invaluable idealism"
(quoted from Miss Barber’s article)
from Middlebury College itself and not
from any small organized group, such
as a sorority, will sincerely look ahead
and plan for all future Middlebury
women if they really have at heart the
welfare and growth of Middlebury
College.
The class of 1936 of the Women’s
College at Middlebury is the most
fortunate class that has ever entered
Middlebury! Each and every member
has had an equal and fair opportunity
to gain social prestige, to make
friends, to get acquainted with every¬
one, to engage in competition in extra
curricular activities on an equal foot
ing with her classmates. Whatever
each freshman woman has accom¬
plished is due to her own merits, her
own strength of character and not to
the "push” of a small strong group.
Whatever she has not achieved, in
whatever she has failed, she has only
herself to blame and must trace the
cause of her failure to her own inability
to adjust herself to college life, and
not to the drawback of not belonging to
a sorority. If sororities are retained,
the class of 1936 will never know some
of the "evils” of sororities. They have
made their start unhampered and with
no unfair advantage. Even if a room¬
mate is not “rushed”, the bond of
friendship is already too strong to be
severed by any artificial social group¬
ing.
"Look to the future” (quoted from
Miss Barber’s article) which you can
ameliorate, "consider carefully the
past” (quoted from Miss Barber’s ar¬
ticle) and its grossly false sense of
values; and when the final vote is
cast, if you decide that sororities are
to be retained "for the welfare of the
greater body”, why not insert a clause
in the rushing rules of the Pan-Hellenic
council which will provide for deferred
rushing? Why not give future enter¬
ing classes the same "lucky break” the
class of 1936 has enjoyed?

It would seem almost impossible to
experience more dissimilar emotional
reactions than those most of us felt
Friday evening when .the College
Dramatic Association gave some ex¬
cellent glimpses of O’Neil and Shaw,
each in his typical element. Both of
the plays were lyric in nature, dis¬
tinctly moods, and, especially is this
true of the first, the spectator was so
captivated by the spirit of the mood
that he was quite oblivious to any de¬
fects of action or speech. Of course,
this is closely synonymous with saying
that "Where The Cross is Made” was
done admirably — the actors need no
reassurance of that score, for the tense
silence of the audience gave evidence
of the spell discriminating acting of a
forceful drama exercised on a critical
student group.
The acting was of a very even tenor
but Mr. Gove merits commendation for
keeping so sustained and trying a part
from fagging either himself or his audi¬
ence. Mr. Hoyt’s interpretation of
Captain Bartlett curiously brought a
sense of relief to the over taut situa¬
tion that was both unexpected and
agreeable. He has a surety of manner
in speech and aotion that rings true.
Miss Sitterly, by her very natural,
nicely controlled acting offered effec¬
tive contrast to the abnormal situa¬
tions about her. I dislike to criticize
Mr. Deedman for I felt he made great
effort to give us his best, but therein
was the fault — the effort was appar¬
ent. No little improvement could have
been gained merely by modulating his
voice.
The setting and stage mechanics con¬
tributed greatly to creating atmosphere.
It was adequate wind and the lighting
effects were carefully managed. The
production staff did professional work.
"How He Lied to Her Husband” was
given the boisterous reception it de¬
served. No one but Shaw could make
so much of so little for no one but
Shaw is so clever a bluffer. Certainly
the cast did Shaw credit. Miss West
was as much at ease handling the lines
as the Englishman was at writing them,
and Mr. Allbee played up to her feel¬
ingly. Mr. Hutchins has been cast in
fitter roles. He was, it seemed, too
bourgeois in form and speech even for
Mr. Bompas. But as the play was
really “He and She” (the husband
served appropriately as a foil for the
ingenious acting of the other two.
The choice and order of the plays
was fortunate, the casts very able, the
stage-craft well managed, the audience
appreciative. It was a thoroughly good
evening, even to the new carpeting.

Dr. James L. Barton’s Visit
Postponed Due to Illness
The visit of Dr. James L. Barton ’81,
scheduled for this week, February 7 to
10, has been indefinitely postponed on
account of illness.
Dr. Barton was to have come under
the auspices of the liberal club. Vari¬
ous group discussions and chapel talks
had been arranged. A similar visit
to the college was made last year.
After graduation from Middlebury,
Dr. Barton attended Hartford theologi¬
cal seminary, from which he was gra¬
duated in 1885. The same year he went
as a missionary to Harpoot, Turkey,
where he remained for nine years. He
was appointed secretary of the Ameri¬
can board of commissioners for foreign
missions in 189“*, and in subsequent
years his duties included visits to the
orient, Dr. Barton is the author of a
number of books on foreign missions.
Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Wiley Give Party
For Sons and Daughters of Alumni
Twenty-five students, sons and
daughters of Middlebury graduates, at¬
tended an informal party at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar J. Wiley, Friday
evening, February 3.
Black panthers were modeled in gum,
Middlebury songs were sung, and several
games were played during the course of
the evening.
This entertainment, the first of its
kind in the history of the college, fol¬
lowed the recent move taken to secure
a photograph of these students in a
group, which will accompany a feature
article to appear in the next edition of
the alumni news letter.
